....with a rubber case on it to fit inside? I dont understand why at least one mfg dont make an oversized case that will fit the phone with a rubber case on it.
Try the HTC leather holster for the Sprint EVO... Its a little tight with the skin sold my T-Mobile but it is workable for now...
Yea I need a new leather hip case for my Vibrant . I got my old case I had for my G1 but my Vibrant has the Tmo rubber case on it and it is a really tight fit.

I need one of these badly too. I have tried every cell store near me and not one fits nicely.
Case for the Vibrant
I am using a sidekick case and it fits the Vibrant with the gel perfectly. Might be worth a try until they come out with something.
packderm, your vibrant has the tmo rubber case on it?
Yes, my vibrant has the tmo rubber case on it and it fits almost perfectly in the sidekick holster.
The sidekick holster is a little bit bigger than than vibrant with the gel case so it covers it but it is still easy to get it out.
Do you have a link for this case online? thanks

Hey,
Does anyone know of a case that is big enough to comfortably hold a Vibrant in a t-mobile gel skin. The phone is so light and fragile w/o the gel skin, but I would really like to have a holster to carry it on my belt. Anyone know of a case thats might work for that purpose?
Thanks!
I actually have the T-mobile gel case and purchased the leather swivel hip case for the moto cliq from t-mobile. with a little bit of stretching they both fit perfectly. Not to much work to pull it out or slide in. Try this out. They have 2 cases at t-mobile. find the one with the magnetic button and not the concealed magnet. Good luck!
I found a horizontal Rocketfish leather holster that is a perfect fit for the Vibrant with an average thickness gel skin at Best Buy. Not too snug, not too lose; feels like it was made for the phone.
I can't find a link to it on their website but it was a universal case and, suprisingly, very well constructed with soft black leather.
It has a swivel clip but it lays flat against the case so the phone doesn't protrude far from your waist.

I got the same one. A few days of pushing my phone in the case it fits perfect.
The best fitting case is the leather holster sold by Verizon for the Droid X. It is a perfect fit with the T-Mobile gel skin.

Does anyone have any experience with a larger leather case for the Vibrant that will accommodate the added bulk of a hard/silicone case? None of the leather cases I can see on Ebay have any indication of fitting a cased Vibrant.
This one that I bought fits my Vibrant perfectly with a gel case on. I've also tested it with a Body Glove.
There is still a bit of room with the gel case and Body Glove, so I'm betting thicker cases would be ok too.

This would NOT be good to use with a naked Vibrant.

like Chongo said. And it's not even really a "hard case". it's a double layer case.... with one layer being capable of attracting lint from alternate dimensions. I don't often use cases.... but to be completely honest, i'm much happier with this slim case i got off of eBay for a few bucks that i've been using for about 2 weeks than i was with the Defender that i used for a day.

Nice, yeah if you need form fitting then otterbox is not for you. I work in nightclubs often so I use it for then but other then that I keep her naked... I love this phone.

I got the body glove when I bought the phone. I is very well made and fits great. it is pretty thin, so it doesn't bulk the phone up too much. I also bought the leather case (att premier store for 20 bucks) with the magnet that puts the phone to sleep when you close it. nice feature. swivel ratcheting belt clip. It fits the bare phone nice and snug. It is supposed to work with tight fitting covers, but I can't see one being thinner than the body glove, and that will not slide into the case well at all. way to hard to get back out. I do reccomend the body glove for a thin rubbery case, though.

Try the Incipio Feather case at Radioshack with the leather case
Made a review for everyone of this awesome case!
http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?3333-Seidio-Surface-Combo-Case-Review
If anybody was wondering, I got mine in today and it does fit with an SGP screen protector installed.
How thick compared to tpu?
Someone picked one up today for me and will be returning it tomorrow. Very cheap and unattractive. This is what I have come to expect from siedo so no surprise here. Ordering Ballistic.

I had one of these for my Evo 3D and loved it. I'm rocking the combo case from Sprint now. It's decent but doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone.

I feel that with the exception of the volume button cover and the case being soft instead of hard plastic, the TPU case is just as elegant and much more wallet friendly.
I am satisfied with my seidio case. It offers some protection without adding a lot of bulk. It also has a matched holster available and I am able to put it in the holster and remove it with one hand. This is something that I could not do with the sprint case.
I use the Seido holster and a TPU case.
Perfect Combo. TPU fits perfectly in holster.

Which holster do you use - active or surface?
I want to try this case, but I need to know how it compares to the tpu in regards to thickness. Will it be thinner than a TPU?
Did you order yours from Seidio or Amazon?

I got the same exact case & holster at Best Buy with their platinum branding. As you may already know Best BUY platinum brand stuff & seidio stuff is the same, just a different brands label. Only $34.99 at the big blue box. It looks exactly the same except where the one on the video says seidio, this one has the Pt inside a box like platinum on a element chart.

Does anybody else have a gap where the 2 pieces some together on their case? I noticed that there is a small gap on both sides after installing the case. I installed it properly and you can hear it latch when you press on the spot on the back. I dropped my phone and when it landed the bottom piece came off completely. I was hoping for a tighter fit.
I ordered mine from ebay and got it yesterday. The case is awesome. Its light and blends with the phone perfectly. Thanks for the review QBKing!!
is this thinner than the TPU case?
Is it just on/off or are there little stickies and crap for the phone to fit snugly?
What is the wear/tear like? Does it disintegrate or pop off when you drop it three feet or so onto the concrete? (TPU case remains intact)

I purchased the the Platinum Series case (seidio re-branded) from best buy $34.99 and included the belt clip. I like the matte feel of the case and its looks however the fitment isn't there. everything seems snug except the area near the bottom where the top and bottom piece meet. The tolerances are too large and allows for a fair bit of slop. One friend said upon showing him my phone "oh my your phone is already falling apart" (referring to the sloppy case)
I did however just come up with a fix for this. I lined the part with a bit of electrical tape to snug up the fitment, now feels rock solid! and I really like the case more!
I can include pics if there is any interest.
So, I have my lifeproof nuud case, and it works great. I'm happy with it overall, except for one tiny detail. For some reason Lifeproof doesn't make a belt clip, and when I contacted them they said they have no plans for any accessories for the Galaxy phones. Does anybody have any suggestions on holsters or alternatives? It's insanely frustrating.
Try one of the seidio holsters. Either the convert or the seidio obex holster. Don't know what size is the lifeproof

Given the otterbox armor series is larger then lifeproof idk if this will work. But i bought a cheap Note2 fake leather belt pouch, and it fits loke a glove.

I personally use the the holster for the Seidio Obex, which is just about the right size. The Obex is only a little taller and thicker than the lifeproof, so you only need to pad out the bottom a little.
I also tried the convert plus holster, but it's too narrow to fit the lifeproof.
Been trying to find a good material for the padding though. Foam tape and such just tend to get crushed down after a couple weeks.

Good to hear! How secure is the fit, out of curiosity? Heading into the field for work soon, I like the fact that my lifeproof is waterproof, but have been debating using my Defender just because of how secure it is.

Without the padding is not very secure, but with it is very good.
Personally, I wouldn't call the defender holster very secure. It holds great under normal conditions, but with my incredible s, I broke 3 of those holsters thanks to the dumb flexing-hard-plastic clip design holding the phone in place and the s3 version appears to have the same design unless they've switched to a different plastic formula.

BTW the obex holster has Locking Mechanism, so it wont go anywhere! Ive have the obex clip on the fake lifeproof case of my gs3 and the fit is great. Once locked its not going anywhere. But i do know that the real LP and fake LP are different dimensions thats why i said i wasnt sure.
Good to hear, I'm guessing foam tape is the current best thing for padding, anybody have other suggestions?

The foam tape I tried needed to be replaced every 2 weeks or so.
My latest attempt is filling in the bottom of the holster with some polyurethane construction adhesive I had laying around.
Didn't quite get the thickness right on the first try. I'll add in some more when I have a couple days when I don't need it, as the stuff takes semi-forever to fully set.

Ah it's a canvas type similar to the leather ones. I actually bought it in downtown Los Angeles at a small no name shop. Brand Name is Reiko if that helps.
